OP it sounds like you are almost upset or something she is getting this refund back? .
Hey, I bet if you ask, everyone here would LOVE to get $ 10,000 back but many of us may not get any back or end up owing. ( I am getting a smaller amount less than $ 1,000 ) I know there are plenty of families getting back $ 5,000 or more.
Everyone is different.
You still think $ 10,000 is too much ?
Put it this way, if she is lying she will owe the IRS forever trying to pay that back. ( Penalties, interest , garnishments, )
I suspect you don't know all the tax rules . She may have claimed 0 all year so they would take alot. She may have enough standard deductions and credits, the EIC is a huge cash generator.
Okay, maybe she claimed 16 kids ??
Did you ask her how many kids she claimed on her taxes ? If you wish her some trouble, try and find out if she fudged her return.
OP, I totally understand why you asked your original question. My brother-in-law made $11/hr in his job last year until he was terminated in September. He did not work the rest of the year and claimed 4 deductions (wife makes money under the table teaching dance and he has two kids). He's getting back $8200. The numbers don't add up. On a side note, I did my own taxes using turbotax and I'm getting back $4400 which is WAY higher than I thought I was going to get. Other friends and family members I have talked to have also been surprised with how much money they are getting back. It's no wonder our country is bankrupt.

thank you... i am taking abuse in this friggen board because i asked a question. i did my own taxes also using turbo tax and im happy with the $1,500 im getting back.
because i originally started it in the wrong place NJ. they suggested i put it here and i did and people just started to answer to it. why are you stalking me?
It is called EITC. The tax code is full of entitlements. Blame that on whoever president got it all set up and now it's impossible to repeal without committing political suicide on the part of the president, regardless of party affiliation.
Ok was speaking with a friend who has a friend who filed taxes with H&R block,her and her boyfriend are getting $10,000 back each. they live together not married have one child together and she has a child from previous guy. she is on unemployment she claims one kid age 16 her boyfriend claims the other,2 years old. he makes about 53,000 working for township,they dont own a home they rent, they file seperatly. they are each getting back $10,000 they said H&R used alot of deductions i dont see what they could have deducted. My husband and i make together $55,000 and we own and deduct taxes and interest,we have 1 child age 13 and we get hardly anything back. how is it possible they could get that much back? Im sure sooner or later they will get audited.
This couple may be lying....my wife and I never tell people the truth about our finances, when people find out you have some money, people ask to borrow it. On the other side of that coin, some people like to brag about what they think they have. Look at all the so called "rich" that are actually broke.
